There are dozens of Edison stories worth the telling. This is one of them.

It seems that to enter the grounds to his homes, you had to push open a large clumsy gate that took quite a bit of exertion to open.

One of his friends, ventured to ask Edison one day why he didn’t do something about it, get a new gate, something lighter, make it easier to open.

With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Edison replied, “Come with me. I want to show you something.”

He then showed him how the big gate was geared-in with a pumping contraption and said, “You see, everyone who comes to see me and opens or shuts the gate automatically pumps a gallon of water into a tank on my roof.”

Adversity is like that. It can pump strength into the reservoir of your soul.

“We acquire the strength we have overcome.” Wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson

“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” ~Proverbs 23:7
